The Piper & The Devil (Who is the Piper​?​)

from The Ratcatcher by The Crux

/

lyrics

I hear there’s something going around the land
People hearing music they just don’t understand
They get up and shake, they shuffle their feet
They don’t stop to sleep and they don’t stop to eat

They call it the Dance of Death

Where the roads criss-cross ‘neath the rain
The Devil made the world with a tap of his cane
I heard the Piper was with him and they shook their hands
That’s why his music’s heard around the land

They call it the Devil’s deal

In the Garden of Eden, man was free from sin
The snake gave Eve fruit that was forbidden
He leaned in close to be sure she could hear
Was it words he spoke, or just a whistle in her ear?

They call it the serpent’s tongue

Way down south, in the jungle so deep
The Piper went a-walking, down the main street
People to the East felt a anger inside
People to the West felt a miserable pride

They call him Hell’s Hound

In the desert far away, across the infinite sea
The Piper and the Devil are scattering seeds
Making men’s blood boil, ravaging beasts
And making little girls get weak in the knees

They call it the Devil’s moan
